Dark, especially for baking but if it’s good milk chocolate I can be swayed…especially if it’s paired with caramel. Emily Luchetti wrote an interesting article about milk chocolate for the SF Chronicle. The chocolate cheese cake recipe it divine. http://bit.ly/QxirbY

Tough question…Totally depends on my mood and what I am using it for, but for indulgence purposes I probably would reach for milk chocolate before dark chocolate. But you won’t see me turning either option down!

Dark – preferably bittersweet. This was my preference long before chocolate became known as a ‘health food’, and even before I developed my allergy to milk. The real chocolate flavor is best served without the excess sweetness and – to me – cloying mouth-feel of milk chocolate. I only buy the good stuff – generally free-trade organic, from my health food store, and because the flavor is so intense I am totally satisfies with just a couple squares melted slowly on my tongue 😉 ♥

I find this topic very interesting because for most of my life I did not like chocolate at all(I know, weird) and if I did have chocolate it had to be milk chocolate, but now in my old age(50s) I suddenly love dark chocolate. So, my choice–dark chocolate.

Milk chocolate. Your comment about white chocolate reminded me of the pastry chef who made our wedding cake. She refused to make anything with white chocolate. When I asked, she looked at me with a stern look and said, “You know that’s not really chocolate, don’t you?” On to the next choice…

I love milk and dark, but my mom refuses to eat dark. She’s a milk-only person. Dark chocolate is the one I crave more often, though…usually in the middle of the night or during breakfast or some other inconvenient time….

I seem to always purchase dark chocolate to bake with since I’ve heard bits and pieces that it is “healthier” and I love the darker color it gives to baked goods. It makes it look and taste more rich. If I was just eating chocolate to consume it, I’d probably go with milk chocolate.

Dark chocolate! It’s so much more versatile than milk chocolate when it comes to baking recipes. You can always add more sugar to make the recipe sweeter, but it’s very difficult to take out. Besides, dark chocolate is healthier for you than milk chocolate. 🙂

Overall, I prefer milk chocolate. Dark chocolate can be better, but it has to be super perfect to be better. It’s kind of like coffee–when espresso is done right, it is the best coffee, even plain. But unless it is JUST SO, that latte is just the better choice. Same w/milk vs. dark chocolate for me.
